RE: Shed Hunting Dogs?
I read an artical in a mag about a guy who had 2 labs for shed hunting. It was not to long ago, I will look for it. C.R.S syndrom has set in , I dont remeber how he trained the dogs. I think he started them on retreiving a shed,then he would reward them with something. Good luck

My lab would find them naturally. But I quess you could teach them. Just take a antler and throw them and the lab will bring them back.Just do this in your yard as play. He then will bring them to you when he finds them while you 2 are searching.
